Spider.

This is one of my favourite pieces of jewellery. He cost a paltry $2, and is always a conversation starter!

Patent. Leather. Love. Part II

Hmmmm... here they are, my lovelies. 

I am thinking about replacing the laces with other, nicer ones, perhaps ribbon? Not sure yet, but they are so hot. 

Patent. Leather. Love.

I'm a menswear lover. Vests, Bow Ties, Tuxedo jackets, Blazers, i love it all. Thus it is only common sense that i love mens shoes also. Although i have fairly small feet, whenever i go thrifting i often find exceptionally small mens-style shoes which end up being my favourites. The little booties in a previous post are slightly manly, and i have a beautiful pair of  caramel leather brogues ($4), that i adore. 

Lately, i've been looking for a pair of high-heeled brogues, because i've been enjoying the little boost to my small stature.  After work today i went to Number One Shoe Warehouse, and was about to leave when these amazing shoes caught my eye. They are black patent leather high heel brogues.

 Sigh. It was love at first sight. 

Mine are very very similar to these from Forever 21

My Weakness.

So today was pretty much the perfect day:

Got up late, watched a bit of Gilmore Girls (that stuff is like catnip for me, man), went thrifting, bought some magazines. Pretty much the 4 things that make a great day!

So anyway, i used to buy books a lot,  but recently due to decreasing amount of non-busy hours, i've switched to buying magazines.  That andt he advent of Magnation opening stores in little old NZ. 

Today i bought... March Australia Vogue- i'm not a HUGE fan or anything (i like paris better!), but this drew me in with its free DVD of Lagerfeld Confidential. Yay for free things! plus i've really wanted to see that for ages. I watched it today, and it's really interesting- Karl comes off as being serious about his work but also very aware of his transience. hmm. Plus he turns out to be pro-prostitution, and makes the film-maker very uncomfortable when he dares to skirt arounf the word "homosexuality". Haha. He actually totally sasses the documentary guy.  

I also bought Lula Six, for joy and happiness, for i love Lula with a passion. Generally i would not class myself as a girly girl, but Lula makes me weak at the knees. Plus this had an article on Clemence Poesy, Feist AND Alison Mosshart, so I had to buy it. 

I'm taking it in little gulps right now, but i can see that this Lula is an excellent issue! Go buy it NOW if you haven't got it already. For serious. 

Ag.

Just bought three pairs of shoes.

 all from my local Number One Shoe Warehouse, and all up costing $50 NZD. so, damn cheap. 

Anyway, I bought a pair of gold lace-up shoes (They say topshop inside, which is weird considering New Zealand doesn't have a topshop?. hmm) , a pair of knee high black suede-ish boots with studs, and a nice pair of simple brown boots. yup. all in readyness for my favourite season of all- Autumn.. which is till like 2 months away!
